Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in canna, a Japanese
input system.  The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project
identified the following vulnerabilities:

 * CAN-2002-1158 (BugTraq Id 6351): "hsj" of Shadow Penguin Security
   discovered a heap overflow vulnerability in the irw_through
   function in canna server.

 * CAN-2002-1159 (BugTraq Id 6354): Shinra Aida of the Canna project
   discovered that canna does not properly validate requests, which
   allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or information
   leak.

For the current stable distribution (woody) these problems have been
fixed in version 3.5b2-46.2.

For the old stable distribution (potato) these problems have been
fixed in version 3.5b2-25.2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in

We recommend that you upgrade your canna packages.
